Not in Hall of Fame News

As we approach the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday, we have been working on our future eligible section.  As football players don’t always retire after they played their last game (usually to see if they can land another job while sitting out as a free agent) we aren’t able to immediately add them.   With that being the case, we have added to our site, 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame eligible list. The people eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame whom we are featuring are: Alterraun Verner:  Verner would be named to the Pro Bowl…

I can't speak for Tony. But I don't have a…

A bias against the New England Patriots by the Pro Football Hall of Fame?   According to Rodney Harrison, that is what is transpiring. In a conversation with the Boston Globe, he had the following to say: “It’s just unfortunate.  It’s almost a form of discrimination.  People don’t want to elevate us, or recognize or acknowledge how great we are because they’re such haters.  Everywhere I go, people hate on the Patriots.  So we don’t get credit.  All I hear is Tom and Bill.  But that’s such lazy analysis… …I’m like, Ty Law was the greatest defensive back I’ve ever played with.  Richard Seymour, Willie McGinest, Troy…

As training camp begins in the National Football League, we have another retirement to look at in Pro Football as Quarterback, Mark Sanchez has announced his retirement to pursue a career as a college football analyst.   It was in college, specifically USC where he had his best success.  As a Senior, Sanchez took the Trojans to a 12 and 1 record and a Rose Bowl win over Penn State.  The New York Jets would draft him 5thoverall in 2009 where he would be their starter but he would throw more Interceptions than Touchdowns in his four seasons in Gotham though as a…
